Hello,

I am getting the following error when running autoreconf -i (after making changes to configure.ac) with the 0.9.0 tar ball.

sh: ./version.sh: No such file or directory

configure.ac:12: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version arguments

/opt/local/share/aclocal-1.14/init.m4:29: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from...

configure.ac:12: the top level

autom4te: /opt/local/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 1

aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1

autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

Apparently version.sh is missing. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Simon

What version of autoconf are you running? The version of
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE where you passed package and version arguments has
been deprecated for a while.

Is version.sh in the top level ola directory?

I am using autoconf version 2.69, which appears to be the latest version (installed thru MacPorts).

There is no versions.sh file after extracting the original ola-0.9.0 tar ball.

Ah yes, it was accidentally omitted from the 0.9.0 release. Try
grabbing the script from the git repo.
